Politics and History
This is a very solid introduction to some aspects of the philosophy of science. This book is particularly strong when it comes to explaining and critiquing induction and scientific method. (It is less strong, in fact largely misses out other aspects of the philosophy of science). I think this book will primarily interest a philosophy student at undergraduate level who is focussing on topics like methodology and induction - and if that is what you want then this book will be a very good choices. It is sufficiently deep, not very technical and pretty easy to read. However, there are other introductions (e.g. Alex Rosenberg's) which cover a wider range, although not so good on methodology, with a more stimulating writing style. Bird is a bit dry at times. If you want a general read on philosophy of science or other things than methodology then perhaps try elsewhere.
